Solon to champion BBL in Congress Acenas: ‘Moreno lies’ First of a series

By BONG D. FABE Contributor

CAGAYAN de Oro City-While expecting intense debate in the House of Representatives when it reaches the plenary, con-

gressmen will in the end pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the president of the Centrist Democratic Party (CDP) said.

“An intense debate in the Lower House will be very good as in the end, we will be able to craft a constitutional BBL,” Rep. Rufus

Rodriguez (2nd District, Cagayan de Oro City) told the Business Mirror.

Rodriguez said that he is willing to champion the BBL during plenary debates, confirming reports circulating in Mindanao that various sectors closed to the peace negotiations are

tapping him for this cause.

“Yes. I will champion — sponsor and defend — the BBL in Congress.”

But he said he will relinquish that “position” if the House leadership will appoint him as chairman of the House ad hoc See CONGRESS, page 10

Stiffer penalties for PUVs starts Thursday wednesday, june 18, 2014

Bukidnon • Camiguin • Lanao del Norte • Misamis Occidental • Misamis Oriental

By CHENG ORDONEZ Associate Editor

C AG AYA N d e O r o City––Land transportation authorities will start implementing the stiffer, revised schedule of fines and penalties for violation of laws, rules, and regulations governing land transportation in the country on Thursday, June 19, even as operators and drivers are wary about its outcome.

Last June 4, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued Joint Administrative Order (JAO) No. 2014-01.

The revised schedule of fines and penalties is intended to rid the streets of unauthorized public utility vehicle (PUV) operations, the DOTC said, bringing up to P1 million in fine for “colorum” buses.

Operators and drivers coplained about the revised schedule of fines and penalties as “too much high” and “exorbitant”, saying it will only redound to more abuses from crooked law enforcers See stiffer, page 10

Villanueva town holds medical mission

By IRENE ANIBONG and DODO CANOY Contributors

THOUSANDS of local residents in three barangays in Villanueva town in Misamis Oriental have benefitted from the medical mission organized by the couple Mayor Julio T. Uy and second district Rep. Juliette Uy, held at the San Martin Elementary School in Barangay San Martin on June 14.

Local residents of barangays San Martin un-

der Punong Barangay Jeric Emano, Mohon, and Sta. Cruz availed of the various services offered during the 6th Medical Mission.

Rep. Uy distributed her donation to students and children consisting of school supplies, raincoats, and a pair of low-heeled slippers during the medical mission.

Some of the free services offered include dental, optical and medical check up, hair cutting courtesy of the beauticians from the town

of Villanueva, eye check up from the Eye Care International, feeding program, circumcision, civil registration, distribution of herbal plants, and the distribution of fruitbearing trees courtesy of the Steag-funded Villanueva Urban Forest Project.

Lt. Col. Jose Eriel Niembra of the 58th Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army and its spokesperson, 1Lt. Dandy Nelmida also supported the medical mission.

On one hand, the couple thanked the Steag State

Power, Inc. for donating the medicines used in the medical mission.

The assistance was part of the company’s continuing support of the various community development programs and projects benefiting the people located in its host communities in Misamis Oriental. Steag runs the 210 megawatts (MW) coal-fired power plant in Villanueva town.

The couple likewise thanked reporters from the different media outlets for the information dis-

semination, including the “Katin-awan sa Katawhan Program.”

They also thanked the various government line agencies and private organizations for their strong and unselfish support of the medical mission.

The 6th Medical Mission was made possible through the efforts of Mayor Julio Uy and his wife, second district Rep. Juliette Uy––and as part of the couple’s commitment to bring the local government of Villanueva closer to the people.

Dismantling of ‘Habal Habal’ in C. de Oro eyed

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City––The City Council’s committee on public utilities would look into complaints of the proliferation of illegal transport terminal at the city’s public markets here, City Councilor Roger Abaday said on Tuesday.

The “Habal-Habal” motorcycles (a motorcycle used for conveying passengers) as a public transport is not sanctioned or recognized by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Land Transportation and Franchising Board (LTFRB) because it jeopardizes the safety of the person as a passenger.

Abaday said that the Agora West Bound Transport Operators/ Drivers Association (AWTODA) has sought the intervention of the

ABADAY city council to stop the operation of the “Habal-Habal” motorcycles in the public market.

He said that AWTODA have made many attempts to stop the operation of the “Habal-Habal” within the area but these failed.

“Obviously, the Habal-Habal was tolerated since it has become a source of the livelihood of the motorcycle owners,” he said.

The city’s Road and Traffic Administration (RTA) has reiterated that the “Habal-Habal” operations are not allowed within the city proper, Abaday added.

He said the City Council would study the necessary measures to stop the operations of the Habal-Habal in the city in close coordination with the RTA and the local traffic enforcers.

The “Habal-Habal” operations have been rampant in Cagayan De Oro City, particularly at night, where motorcycle owners hang around the street corner in LicoanClaro M. Recto Avenue and in the corner of Carmen’s Vamenta Blvd and Seriña street.

Local residents and concerned citizens have been complaining about the presence of the illegal Habal-Habal motorcycles in the city, but the city government has turned deaf of the complaints.

Brgy officials urged to help fight ‘dengue’ CAGAYAN de Oro City––Local officials here are urging barangay officials to help in the fight against the spread of “Dengue” in this port capital of Cagayan De Oro City, Councilor Dante Pajo said on Tuesday.

The City Council has enacted an Ordinance No. 10044-2006 to regulate the storing or stockpiling of used tires, tin cans, flower pots and other containers that are possible breeding grounds of Dengue carrier Mosquitoes, Pajo said.

“The empty cans, used tires at vulcanizing shops, junk shops or the household can stock or collect water, especially during heavy rains, such should not be tolerated to prevent the breeding of dengue-carrying mosquitoes,” Pajo said..

The Ordinance prohibits the stockpiling or display of tires and other containers in open places, except when there is adequate protective roof or cover, he said.

Pajo urged barangay officials to help in the strict implementation of the Ordinance in order to contain the spread of Dengue cases in the city. He said that the school officials, especially in grade schools, should also be aware of the anti-Dengue Ordinance in order to protect the children and pupils.

Pajo said that the violators have to pay an administrative fine within 72 hours from receipt of notice of violation, for the first offense, P500.00; Second offense, P1,000 and third and subsequent offenses, P3,000.00 In case that the offender could not pay the administrative fine, he or she may opt to render community service that includes collection of garbage, cleaning of streets and graffiti, clearing of canals and drains and other tasks relative to the beautification and cleaning and greening program of the city, he added.

By PAT SAMONTE Regional Editor-Caraga

BUTUAN City––The Department of Agrarian Reform in Caraga has shown its strong commitment and industriousness in implementing the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by exceeding its annual land distribution projections and improving the lives of the landless farmers who, since time immemorial, have depended on the soil their families’future.

10,000 Lanao del Sur teachers receive early pay

By APIPA P. BAGUMBARAN

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur - About 10,000 public school teachers from this province flocked to the provincial capitol gymnasium Sunday, June 15, to receive their June salaries.

The distribution of checks for the salaries of teachers from Lanao del Sur and Marawi City Schools Division was led

by Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) regional governor Mujiv Hataman and assisted by regional vice governor Haroun Alrashid Lucman Jr. and provincial governor Mamintal Adiong Jr. Hataman said the release was made earlier in preparation for the Ramadhan or the fasting

month.

Aside from the awarding of checks, the regional governor also relayed to the teachers that they can now avail of higher loanable amounts and retirement benefits from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).

He said the GSIS, Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the ARMM government has recently signed and sealed a tripartite agreement to settle the premiums-in-arrears of almost 26,000 DepEd-ARMM employees.

Hataman said DepEdARMM and GSIS will soon issue guidelines on the requirements especially for those employees who have retired but have not received their retirement benefits.

With this development, the regional governor urged the teachers to also do their share and protect the interest of school children. “We are doing our best to protect your interest kaya sana gawin din ninyo ang lahat upang matuto at protektahan ang interest ng mga bata sa loob ng eskwelahan.”

Meanwhile, 82 recipients of ARMM’s “Iskolar ng Bayan” scholarship program, from the province also received their stipend for one semester on Sunday.

Under the scholarship program, full scholars will receive P10,000 while those with partial scholarship will receive P5,000 each per semester.

According to Department of Education in the region, the scholars were

Arguably, the most important difference today is that the public has shown little if any inclination to go to the streets in large numbers.

For many left leaning Filipino intellectuals who tend to idealize the popular protests of the past, this people power fatigue is a painful disappointment.

The people’s passivity challenges the widespread perception that in the end of the day the masses will take their destiny into their own hands. Filipinos seem to have learned their lesson.

Few would argue today that the two previous revolts led to an

improvement of the quality of their lives.

Many would even say, and empirical data justifies their claim, that their situation has worsened. A recent opinion poll conducted by a reputable survey institute revealed how fed-up the people are with being sent to the streets by political agitators.

Nationwide EDSA protests never took place even after Gloria Arroyo was besieged with the Hello Garci scandal and the graft and corruption charges.

Do we not need another EDSA to remove all these politicians involved in the NAPOLES PDAF scam?

The K 11-12 dilemma

COME school year 20162017 until 2017-2018, colleges and universities in the country will not have any first year students enrolling during that period because of the government’s K-12 program.

What will happen during those school years, fourth year high school students under the old program will not be going to college but will be made to enroll in Grade 11 on the first school year implementation of the K-12 program? On the second year of the program’s implementation those enrolled in Grade 11 in the previous school year will have to enroll in Grade 12.

It is only after finishing Grade 12 that these students be admitted to college thus leaving the country’s colleges and universities with no college students during the aforementioned school years.

This is the dilemma being faced by the country’s colleges and universities.

This dilemma is com-

A deeper view Jesse E.L. Bacon II pounded by the fact that the implementation of the K-12 program never offered any solution to this scenario.

What’ll the colleges and universities do with their faculty members teaching in the first and second year levels in the meantime that there are no freshmen students entering college during the mentioned period?

Will they fire them with the promise to rehire them when the dilemma is over?

Can these institutions offering tertiary level of education retire their faculty members teaching first and second year college subjects?

Sadly, the brilliant boys and girls in the government who

drafted the K-12 program did not even try looking at this possible scenario. They were just focused on seeing to it that the K-12 program gets implemented without looking at its ramifications.

Tertiary level education institutions are left to draw up their own plans on how to cope with this dilemma.

Others are negotiating with their first and second year faculty members to go down and teach Grades 11 and 12 if they don’t want to be fired or retired.

But this is easier said than done. Tertiary level educational institutions that have faculty unions or even those with no unions

will have to contend with the security of tenure mandate of the law. Can they just dismiss or retire their redundant faculty members during that two school year period?

This dilemma was expressed to me by a friend who is the vice president for academic affairs of one of the universities in the capital region. And I was told that there is a strong resistance on the part of some college faculty members with doctors of philosophy and education degrees from teaching in Grades 11 and 12.

Can these colleges and universities just order their reluctant faculty members to teach in high school levels?

If they can, then there is really no problem. But what if they can’t because of labor union and other legal considerations? Should these educational institutions be required to continue paying the salaries of their faculty members who because of the K-12 program are See DILEMMA, page 11

Mindanao Shipping Conference focuses on BOC policy direction

C

AGAYAN DE ORO CIT Y -- Key Bureau of Customs (BOC) initiatives designed to streamline operations and cut corruption, including rationalizing operations and addressing loopholes on customs and trade practices, are the subject of a Bureau of Customs presentation, at the Mindanao Shipping Conference set today, June 18, at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City.

Customs deputy commissioner for Assessment and Operations Coordinating Group Atty. Agaton Teodoro Uvero tackles the recently implemented ruling on accreditation for importers and customs brokers; impending adoption of the load port survey (pre-shipment inspection) on containerized shipments; and plans for full computerization at the bureau as well as a host of other measures that the BOC will adopt in the next 12 months.

One of these policies is the Department of Finance requirement for accreditation of all importers

and customs brokers at the BOC and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

Under the newly enacted rules, all importers and customs brokers will have to secure their BIR importer clearance certificate or BIR customs broker clearance certificate from the BIR head office in Quezon City.

A separate accreditation from the BOC is also required so importers and customs brokers can transact with the customs agency.

The load port survey on containerized shipments, on the other hand, is scheduled for implementation within the third quarter of the year based on a draft customs administrative order.

At the end of his presentation, Uvero takes questions from conference delegates.

Other conference speakers include former Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Dr Cayetano Paderanga, Jr, who will discuss economic prospects for Mindanao; Dr Adora Navarro whose presentation will focus on

the benefits of ASEAN integration on the logistics industry; and PIEMO Industries Association president Augustus Adis who will point out the needs of Mindanao shippers and cargo service providers.

Mindanao Shipping Conference 2014 is supported by Smart Infinity (Gold Sponsor); Soonest Global and Phoenix Petroleum (Silver Sponsors); Fast Logistics, Petron, Seda Centrio and Smart Communications (Bronze Sponsors); and Avida Land Corp, Isuzu, Jentec Storage and Sun Cellular (Exhibitors).

Conference partners are Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce, Phividec Industrial Authority, PIEMO Industries Association, Philippine Exporters Confederation (Regions X and XII), Philippine International Seafreight Forwarders Association, Cargo Data Exchange Center, Mindanao International Container Terminal Services, Inc., BusinessWeek Mindanao, Mindanao Daily News, Davao Today and Sun Star Cagayan de Oro.

Zamboanga del Norte | Zamboanga del Sur | Zamboanga Sibugay | Dipolog City | Dapitan City | Pagadian City | Isabela City | Zamboanga City

Gov't forces nab 2 ASG members in Zamboanga City Z AMBOANGA CITY - The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) on Tuesday said that two alleged members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) were arrested in Zamboanga City in connection with the Kidnapping and Serious and Illegal Detention with Ransom case.

In a statement, PAOCC identified the suspects as Jimmy Nurilla and Bakrin Haris who were apprehended in Barangay Sangali, Zamboanga on Monday by the joint elements of the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime, Spe-

cial Project Mindanao Khilafa Islamiyya, Philippine National Police, and Armed Forces of the Philippines in a PAOCC-assisted operation.

The duo were nabbed during the implementation of the Warrant of Arrest

issued by RTC 9th Judicial Region, Branch 16, Zamboanga City against alias Walid docketed under Criminal Case Nos. 24108. However, during the conduct of the operation, alias Walid was able to evade arrest.

The operation also resulted in the seizure of some subversive documents and explosives from the arrested personalities.

Nurilla and Haris were allegedly active members of ASG Kidnapping-forRansom Group operating in Zamboanga City.

The two arrested suspects were reportedly part of the

group that abducted Warren Rodwell, an Australian National who was held in captivity for 15 months; Kevin Lunsman, an American Citizen who was kept in captivity for five months; Cathy Casipong, teacher from Sibogtok Elementary School in Limaong Island; and, businesswoman Sabrina Voon who is still in captivity.

It was also said that they have links to the Basilanbased ASG under the leadership of Furiji Indama and Khair Mundos, who was also arrested last week.

ISABELA CITY, Basilan – The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA)-9 sought the help of stakeholders toward a strong and urgent collaborative approach in fighting the scale insect infestation in Isabela City and Basilan.

Ralph S. Hamoy, PCA9 OIC/Regional Manager said that Basilan is a big contributor to the economy of Zamboanga Peninsula because of its coconut industry. But, the industry is now being threatened by the invasive scale insect that has infected over 70 thousand coconut trees in Isabela City and counting.

“There is a plan for you [government agencies] to be greatly involved in the fight versus cocolisap because we have a hard time in dealing with the insect alone. We have done preventive and control measures, but [they] are not enough,” Hamoy said.

He added that the spread of this insect pest is so massive that PCA could not handle alone and it requires the help and support of government agencies, the local government units (LGUs), and the farmers and landowners.

He underscored the important role of the media in providing valuable information to the coconut farmers and the community affected by the infestation.

“I would like to request or even appeal to your hearts to have some commitments, do something and input your ideas [in

this meeting] and efforts on how to address this situation,” he said.

He revealed that numerous activities and actions were done by PCA, biologically and chemically to salvage what has been left of the coconut tree.

“B u t i t’s j u s t n o t enough,” he said.

He disclosed some problems encountered during those efforts of treating the infected coconuts, namely, the cooperation of some landowners, the passiveness of some of our “counterparts”, and the availability of water source as main ingredient in treating infected coconuts.

He also revealed that the 52 emergency laborers hired by PCA for the purpose had stopped effective May 1 as they are yet to receive their 16 days salary.

Different government agencies, farmers’ organizations, and the LGUs gathered at the Querexeta Formation Center last June 11 for an emergency meeting on some updates and development of the coconut scale insect infestation in Isabela City.

Efren P. Carba, PCDM division chief reiterated that the degree of infestation in Isabela City already needs chemical treatment more than the biological control measures that were being done. Thus, this requires appropriate funding, as the materials needed are expensive.

Davao taps Korean firm on LRT project study

By TYRONE A. VELEZ, Davao Today

D

AVAOCITY — Is a light rail transit (LRT) possible in Davao?

The city government thinks this could happen, as Mayor Rodrigo Duterte entered a deal with the Korean Engineering and Construction (KEC) to conduct a joint study and construction of this project.

The joint project would be launched by September while the feasibility study may be completed by early 2015.

Duterte said the LRT is a viable option for the city as he foresees problems in traffic congestion such as the rise in population, vehicles and businesses.

“Right now, we have narrow roads that we can’t expand because we can’t buy the expensive lands (to expand the highway); our only option is to have

railways,” he told the delegation of the KEC after the signing.

His point was supported by the study presented by KEC overseas manager Dae Kwon Jung, which showed Davao City’s population growth rate is at 2.7% annually and vehicles rising in Davao Region at 7.1% annually.

The city’s main form of transportation comprises of multicabs, jeepneys, tricycles, buses and taxis.

Jung said Davao City’s population may even reach 10 million by the year 2040, and at that time the city may be considered “one of the terribly trafficked cities” if no sound transport system is created.

The project is a first in the Philippines for the private construction firm KEC. But its chief researcher, Chae Il Kwon, said the company’s credentials include the construction of the high-speed train projects in Korea, Singapore and Malaysia,

and other railway projects in Seoul.

Jung presented four possible types of mass transit and four possible routes for this project.

The company said the most economic route would be a 13 kilometer route plying Ateneo de Davao University in Roxas Street, Abreeza Mall in Davao, SM Mall Lanang, DIHO and the Davao International Airport in Buhangin.

The three other routes will go through these same areas with additional areas.

Jung proposed that the monorail type of LRT, with a capacity to carry five to twenty-thousand passengers in an hour running at 70 kilometers per hour, to be used for Davao City.

He added that monorail train contributes less noise pollution and carbon emissions, factors that the Duterte considers as a “na-

ture saver”.

Duterte said he favors this over another proposal from the city council’s transport committee for a public bus transit system in the city.

“You will only have one engine running over the city. Can you imagine if you have many buses spewing more carbon emission that contributes to pollution,” he said.

The mayor said the LRT is a long-term project that may be completed in the next decade, but he wants the feasibility to take place not later than early 2015 as the country will be heading towards the national election.

Duterte said he will consult with various sectors such as business leaders and most especially public transport leaders representing 8,500 jeepney drivers and 14,000 tricycle drivers

committee that will review Malacañang’s proposed BBL. The Office of the President is fine-tuning the draft BBL, which from Mohager Iqbal, chief peace negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), submitted on April 22.

Reports quoted House Majority Leader Neptali “Boyet” Gonzales II as having said that “an announcement will be made for Congressman Rufus to lead the ad hoc panel for the Bangsamoro bill.”

Rodriguez, however, said that “it is just a recommendation. Nobody has approached me about this appointment yet.”

Constitutional BBL “But if appointed, I can no longer serve as the socalled “champion” for the BBL because as chairman, my duty is to give space to all quarters regardless of political color and argument. I have to be neutral,” he added.

Whether as “champion” of as chairman of the ad hoc committee, he said that he will exert all efforts so that Congress will pass a Constitutional BBL and help bring peace to his native Mindanao.

Rodriguez disclosed that more than 60 percent of the 290 congressmen of the 16th Congress are in favor of the BBL and will vote for its passage. This is based on the result of an ongoing mapping of congressmen on the acceptability of the BBL being done by an international group.

The Bangsamoro Basic Law was specifically designed to allow the Bangsamoro people to “fully exercise their rights based on their unique customs, traditions, beliefs and cultural identity.”

Contrar y to unconfirmed reports that the House leadership will put the proposed BBL straight to the plenary for debates, Rodriguez said that it will be best for the proposed Organic Act of the proposed new Bangsamoro New Political Entity to undergo committee hearings before going into plenary.

At the committee level, possible questions that will be raised in the plenary will have already been answered.

Also, it is expected that during committee hearings, the proposed measure will have been scrutinized from its first letter in the first page to its last period in the last page, paving the way for a smooth passage in plenary.

Constitutional Basis Groups and individuals supporting the BBL are confident that all constitutional issues have already been ironed out and adequately answered given that the draft BBL is itself based on the 1987 “Freedom” Constitution.

On the question of territorial and political subdivisions, Article X, Section 1 of the Constitution defined

the territorial and political subdivisions of the Philippines as the provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. But it also states “There shall be autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras as herein after provided.”

On the question of the creation of the autonomous region, Section 15 of Article X states that “there shall be created autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and in the Cordilleras consisting of provinces, cities municipalities, and geographical areas sharing common and distinctive historical and cultural heritage, economic and social structures, and other relevant characteristics.”

On the structure of government, Article X, Section 18 states that “the organic act shall define the basic structure of government for the region consisting of the executive department and the legislative assembly, both of which shall be elected and representative of the constituent political units. The organic act shall likewise provide for special courts with personal, family, and property law jurisdiction consistent with the provisions of this Constitution and national laws.”

On questions of the sharing of power and wealth, Article XII, Section 1 states that “the goals of the national economy are a more equitable distribution of opportunities, income and wealth; a sustained increase in the amount of goods and services produced by the nation for the benefit of the people; and an expanding productivity as the key to raising the quality of life for all, especially the underprivileged.”

Article XIII, Section 1 of the Constitution also states that “the Congress shall give highest priority to the enactment of measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity, reduce social, economic, and political inequalities, and remove cultural inequities by equally diffusing wealth and political power for the common good.”

Also, Article X, Section 7 states that “local governments shall be entitled to an equitable share in the proceeds of the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas, in the manner provided by law, including sharing the same with the inhabitants by way of direct benefits.” To be continued

enforcers who pry on operators and drivers.

However, Secretary of Transportation Jun Abaya said” “Safety is always our priority. Recent accidents have highlighted the need for harsher penalties to deter illegal PUV practices and to better protect the public. The most significant change we are imposing

is the P 1-million fine on colorum bus operators for the first offense, to show that we really mean business in putting an end to their inimical activities which put people’s lives at risk.”

The fine for other firsttime colorum offenders are: (1) Trucks – P 200,000; (2) Jeepney – P 50,000; (3) Vans – P 200,000; (4) Sedans – P 120,000; (5) Motorcycles – P 6,000.

Apart from these fines, the colorum vehicles will also be impounded for a minimum period of three months. The entire certificate of public convenience (CPC) to which the colorum vehicle belongs will be revoked, as well as their vehicle registrations. They will also be blacklisted from being used as PUVs in the future.

In case of a second offense, the entire fleet or all CPCs of the erring operator will be revoked, the vehicles will be blacklisted from being used as PUVs in the future, and their vehicle registrations will also be revoked.

The violating operator — and in case of corporations, the stockholders and directors — will be disqualified from operating any kind of public land transportation.

city because the “City Executive is not in good term” with the Vice Mayor.

In a speech during the commemoration of the city’s 64th Charter Day anniversary last Sunday, Moreno accused Vice Mayor Acenas of driving away the Scandinavian investors from the city and recommended to pour investment in Misamis Oriental.

Moreno said that Acenas told the Scandinavian investors that “the City Mayor and I (Acenas) are not in good terms.”

“I have to find and rush to the Scandinavian investors who were having a meeting at that time with the local stakeholders to apologize for such ‘irresponsible’ statements,” Moreno said.

Contrary to Moreno’s allegation, the Office of the Vice Mayor warmly welcomed officials of the LT Scandinavia Corporation who called in his office with a Letter of Intent on May 14, 2014, Acenas said.

He said that Liza Licudine, the Chief Operations Officer of the FilipinoFinish company lead the Scandinavian team of Mika Molainen, Chief Executive Officer, and Esa Jokela, a member of the company’s Board of Directors.

According to Acenas, the Scandinavians have shown interest in exploring the possibility of undergoing

Geothermal Power Plant and Clean Water Service projects in the city.

“I briefed the investors on the current power and water conditions in the city while expressing the hope that the entry of the LT Scandinavia Corp. could resolve the issues so that better services could be extended to the local constituents,” Acenas said.

He said that he assured the investors that the City Council would support proposals after the necessary studies and consultations have been made. “The legislative body would enact necessary ordinances for projects that would benefit the city,” Acenas added.

Dy said Misortel incurred debts totalling P45million since 2005, which ballooned to P51-million due to interests of 8% per year.

He said Misortel had made a promissory note to PLDT to pay the debts, and that the P6.2 million will include upfront payment of P3.1 million and every month thereafter for about three years until full payment.

Dy said PLDT has agreed to stop charging interest with this new payment scheme.

“We’re hoping our threeyear plan will work,” he said.

“With the use of PLDT

lines Misortel can operate in full blast,” he added.

They said the current operations of Misortel has been sustained through aggressive marketing and collection.

He noted new subscribers are increasing on a monthly basis.

“There’s no way to go but up,” Dy said.

For his part, Misamis Oriental provincial board member Abing Bernaldez said the appropriation is not a subsidy but is a budget item for Misortel.

“Sa akong tan-aw Misortel is operating in a losing manner,” Bernaldez said.

He said the P6.2 million will be used for the outbound payments for long distance calls using PLDT lines.

He added that the total billing balance is P25million.

“Ku ng m aw a l a ang long distance call service ng Misortel it will lose Pmillion yearly,” he said.

Dy said the P6.2 million appropriation is “a big step” to a new and better Misortel.”

“It will be difficult, but that’s my task to make sure transportation of goods and services have to go fast. We have to move with the times; but we’ll find something for them,” he said.

Duterte said funding for this project will come from the World Bank, but said he has to confer on what is the actual cost of the project.

Kwon told reporters that the cost for the feasibility study will be around US $ 1-million and mentioned that the Korean government will shoulder part of the project.

The mayor said he will also send two engineers or technical persons to Korea for the launch in September to help thresh out details on the project.(davaotoday. com)

Palomar, RTS of PCA9 sought the commitment from the agencies present to help PCA to save the coconut industry. She said that PCA has already spent some P1.6-million for a short period of time treating coconut lands.

“Handa ang PCA tumulong sa abot ng aming makakaya (PCA is ready to help in as much as we can),” she said, with high hopes that government will provide the necessary funding and support to curb the pests.

The meeting ended with the activation of the Scale Insect Action Team to help address the problem. (FPG/ RVC/PIA9-ZBST)

Investors... from page 9

Recently, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has offered a business deal with the barangay folks of Paquibato district.

This is in connection with the interest of a Malaysian company to develop about 100 to 1,000 hectares of agricultural lands in Paquibato to oil palm development.

Duterte said he would communicate the matter to President Benigno Aquino III and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).

He had said that the project would generate numerous jobs to Paquibato residents and eventually improve their lives, thus, creating peace and development in the rebel-infested Paquibato District.

Councilor Danny Dayanghirang, chair of the committee on finance, ways, and means, for his part, said the city government’s focus on development now is geared towards the city’s rural area due to its agriculture development potentials.

This development step is provided under the Agro Tourism Development Plan of the city government.

He said the city’s massive promotion of its vast agricultural lands to investors

is timely and could spur economic development in the city and to the farmers.

City Agriculture Office chief Rocelio Tabay said the city now being positioned as oil palm industry destination, thus his office has already started conducting training of some farmers on the proper planting and development of oil palm.

Only 10,000 to 20,000 remain idle but are potential for oil palm industry.

Tabay said the city has about 60,000 hectares agricultural land fit for specific agriculture and another 130,000 hectares for nonagricultural sources. (PNA)

office had accomplished 2,211 adjudication cases, and disposed of 2,673 quasijudicial cases and 7,690 agrarian law implementation cases “to swiftly deliver agrarian justice.”

Mambuay said that per ARC Level of Development Assessment (ALDA) in 2013, the average annual agrarian reform beneficiary household in the region had reached P135,918. “This is already comparable to entry level position in the government and private offices,” he said.

As examples, he mentioned farmer Ruben Ragas of Barangay Sanghan, Cabadbaran City, who supplies vegetables and other farm products to the local market and sends his children to school. And, Silverio Bugarin, a Surigao del Sur farmer, who transformed his land into a ricefarm, produced three professional children and sent his wife to college to earn a degree.

Soil tillers and “farming families are now realizing their dreams,” he said.

He said DAR turned over 51 common service utilities worth P14 million to eight agrarian reform beneficiaries’ organizations to help farmers in easing their labor, reducing production cost and increasing their income.

To help farmers recover from pest infestation and calamities caused by climate change, DAR launched the Agrarian Insurance Program in partnership with the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation to provide free insurance premium for crops and livestock.

Indemnity checks worth P3.3 million were handed to 544 farmers on June 10 to cover 612 hectares of damaged fields, he said.

Dilemma... from page 6

rendered with no teaching loads?

The dialogues I saw on television between these agitated faculty members with department of labor officials in my view were not of help. They were not of help for they did not offer any concrete solution that is acceptable to the affected college faculty members.

This clearly shows that no thorough study had been made of the K-12 program’s

northmin . westmin . caraga . davao Your Mindanao-wide Community Newspaper

ramifications.

This is typical government way of doing things.

This style of doing things could be likened to the style of playing basketball that the Miami Heat showed during Game 5 of their Finals series with the San Antonio Spurs Monday morning Philippine time.

The Heat players were there not to win over their opponents proved by their lack of desire to bang bodies with the Spurs players.

Since they were so afraid to be banging bodies with their foes, they seem to be at a loss whether they were playing basketball game or were they doing a fashion show. Basketball is won especially in big time basketball by putting bodies against the other team which the Spurs effectively did because that sport is a contact sport.

The K-12 proponents should have banged their heads in finding a solution to the dilemma the implementation of the program will bring about. But no, the proponents just walked away from such responsibility as if they were in a fashion show.

Here’s my humble solution. Why not give competitive exams to all graduating high school students in school year 2015-2016 for the purpose of accelerating the qualified among them to college by school year 2016-2017? If Rep. Manny Pacquiao was given such exam so he can be accelerated to college why can’t it not be given to those graduating high school students in 2016 under the old program? I really hope this will be considered by the officials concerned.

10 million loan, payable in 7 years, with NEA in 2005 which the cooperative members have paid until 2013.

“MORESCO 1 should refund the amount to the cooperative members since NEA has already condoned the Calamity Fund Loan,” Chang said.

She said that MORESCO 1 should also refund the P 6 million meter deposit by cooperative members since the 2004 Magna Carta for Electricity provides that “all power consumers shall be exempted from paying meter deposits.”

She said that the members of the town’s city council have adopted a resolution requesting the Board of Directors of MORESCO 1 to subsidize the amount, make a roll back of tariff rate and refund the amount of the cooperative members.

NASECORE also questioned MORESCO 1 “one month consumer or bill deposit” of the company amounting to P 46.5 mil-

lion and the “transformer deposit” of P 4 million, which were being passed on and added to the consumers’ billing statements.

She said that NASECORE and cooperative members have written to MORESCO 1 Gen. Manager Julie Real copies of the power cooperative’s Annual Budget for the years 2005 up to 2013 and copies of the Board Resolutions approving the corresponding annual budget.

Chang said that the cooperative members also demanded transmittal letters to the National Electrification Administration (NEA) confirming and approving the contracts of three legal retainers, contracts with outside labor and outside professional service providers.

She said that the documents are necessary in the spirit of transparency and accountability and in determining the generation charges which were passed on to consumers.

Chang warned that the failure of MORESCO 1 provide the required documents would compel NASECORE and cooperative members to take necessary remedies to protect the interests of power consumers as cooperative member-owners of the power firm. CD

Biblical reflection

Bro. Edcel L. Closas

Denied Special Gospel of the day: John14:15-26(June18, 2014 - Wednesday) John 14:15-26-If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever: John 21:15-So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. This is the question of Jesus to Peter and if ever He will ask each one of us if we love Him, are you sure that you will have the same answer? Remember that love is invisible and cannot be seen but it will become clear if we will prove it through our doings. Matthew 22:37-40-Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. It could not be denied that there are people “who love God by their lips but not in deeds.” Matthew 15:8-This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and “honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.”
